I will be giving these to my co-workers think they will like them. The card stock is Lime Rickey cut 4 by 12 scored at 4 and 8 inches fold the right edge down to the bottom of the card creating a triangle. Fold the left side up. You can use double sided card stock and omit this next step.

I cut a square 3 7/8 by 7/8 and glue that in the center square. Glue triangle sides down. On bottom center section I applied score tape you can use any kind of permanent adhesive this creates the base of the card. The front center medallion is from Accent Essentials page 62 cut at 2 1/4 inches out of green card stock put through the cuttlebug dotted Swiss folder edges inked with Studio g chalk. Second layer cut at 1 3/4 edges inked with Studio g. Center circle cut at 1 1/4 page 74. Mar 17th St. Patrick's day stamp is also from Studio g.

I made the Lucky on my computer Arizona font. I punched this out with my ek success punch inked with Studio g. I cut Velcro circles in quarter and put one in the corner to hold in the chocolate.

I think one of the hardest card to may is a Sympathy card. I just try to keep them simple. This is from Wild Card page 32 cut at fit to page 3.75" this will fit in an A2 envelope. The paper is from K & Company with eyelets and ribbon from Making Memories. The With Sympathy on the front of the card is from Scrappy Moms Stamps Everyday Greetings the leaves are from BasicGrey and the inside sentiment is from Inkadinkado.

Ordered 4 of these from Crafter's Companion for a Saint Patrick's day project I am working on. I needed a strong glue but the project is small and my ATG gun would have been difficult to use. Did a few test and this feels great in your hand super sticky and holds extremely well. Plus I ordered them online had them in four days!

Made this super simple card for my neighbor. She and her husband were so kind last week. They snowblowed our driveway while my husband and I were at work. It was so nice to come home and half the work was done. She LOVES frogs. I welded two 4.25" frogs from Create a Critter page 24 on my Gypsy. Use card stock and Thank You stamp is from BasicGrey. Was perfect for the challenge over at http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/ to create a shaped card something other then a square or rectangle.
